Top Critics Reviews

...this smells like a script slapped together around a toy-product launch.
– Liam Lacey,

rotten:
Though it starts promisingly, the picture ends as a standoff between the affection Dante and company bring to the project and its increasingly frenetic and tiresome emphasis on what special effects can make its little people do.

rotten:
As with many films in which special effects are the real stars, the technology here commands more respect and interest than the material otherwise warrants.

I can't think of a Hollywood entertainment I've enjoyed as much all year, and both audiences I saw the movie with seemed delighted as well.

Fortunately, it's possible to ignore the morals entirely and simply enjoy the filmmakers' skill at creating carefully contained mayhem in a microcosm.
